LIGHTING THE BURNERS
• To ignite one of the burners, turn the relative knob anti-clockwise to the maximum flame setting .
• Press the knob against the control panel to ignite the burner.
• After the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed for about 5 seconds to allow the thermocouple to warm up.
This safety device shuts off the gas if the flame goes out accidentally (draughts, interruption of gas, liquids boiling over,
etc.).
• The device must not be pressed for more than 15 sec. If, after that time has elapsed, the burner does not
remain lit, wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.
- The burner might go out when the knob is released. This means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough.
In this case, repeat the operations described above.
PRATICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE BURNERS
For optimum burner performance, observe the following
rules:
- Use pots and pans that fit the burners
(see table on the right).
- Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
- Use the correct amount of water for cooking foods and
keep the pot covered.

INSTALLATION
TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER
• This product can be embedded in a worktop 20 to 40 mm thick.
• If there is no oven beneath the hob, insert a separator panel that has a surface at least equal to the opening
in the work surface. This panel must be positioned at a maximum distance of 150 mm below the upper
surface of the work surface but, in no case less than 20 mm from the bottom of the hob. If there is an oven
beneath the hob, make sure that it is manufactured by Whirlpool and equipped with a cooling system. The
manufacturer declines all liability if another brand oven is installed beneath the hob.
• Before installation, make sure that:
- the local gas delivery conditions (nature and pressure) are compatible with the settings of the hob (see the
rating plate and injector table).
- the outer surfaces of the furniture or appliances adjacent to the hob are heat resistant according to local regulations.
- combustion products are discharged outdoors through specific hoods or wall and/or window mounted electrical fans.
- Continuous natural air circulation is ensured through a clear opening in a wall of at least 100 cm
2
. This wall opening must
be:
a) permanent and in a wall to the outside of the room to be vented;
b) made in such a way that it cannot be obstructed from the inside or outside (not even accidentally);
c) Protected by plastic grilles, metal mesh, etc., which do not reduce the above-mentioned useful area;
d) located near floor level and positioned so as not to interfere with the operation of the exhaust system.
INSTALLATION

• Before connecting the tube to the elbow fitting (A), interpose the
washer (B) supplied, in compliance with EN 549.
Attention: if a stainless steel hose is used, it must be installed so as not to touch any mobile part of the furniture.
It must pass through an area where there are no obstructions and where it is possible to inspect it on all its length.

• Nozzles not supplied with the appliance must be ordered from After Sales Service.
• Adjust the minimum setting of the taps.
Note
: when liquid petroleum gas is used (G30/G31), the minimum gas setting screw must be tightened as far as
it will go.
Should you experience difficulty in turning the burners knobs, please contact the After Sales Service for the
replacement of the burner tap if found to be faulty.
REPLACING THE INJECTORS (see the injector table in the Product Description Sheet)
• Remove grids (A)
• Extract burners (B)
• Using a socket spanner of the appropriate size unscrew the injector (C)

ADJUSTING MINIMUM GAS SETTING OF TAPS
To ensure that the minimum setting is correctly adjusted,
remove the knob and proceed as follows:
• tighten the screw to reduce the height of the flame (-)
• loosen the screw to increase the height of the flame (+)
The adjustment must be performed with the tap in minimum
gas setting position (small flame) .
• The primary air of the burners does not need to be
adjusted.
• At this stage, light up the burners and turn the knobs
from max position to minimum position to
check flame stability.
Upon completion of adjustment, reseal using sealing wax or
an equivalent material.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To maintain your hob in perfect conditions, clean it after every use, removing any food spills.
Before any cleaning operation, disconnect the hob from the mains and wait for it to cool down.
CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE
• All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and neutral solution.
• Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in contact for too long. Any
food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.
Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with
specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.
• Do not use vapour cleaning appliances.
• Do not use flammable products.
• Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the hob.
CLEANING THE HOB PARTS
• Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.
• Clean them by hand with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, carefully removing any food residues and checking
that none of the burner openings is clogged.
• Rinse and dry carefully.
• Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.
• When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned with the burner and that the burner feet are fitted
in the respective housings on the hob surface. In the case of single grids, make sure that they fit on the burner cap
protuberance.
• Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs and safety thermocouples require thorough cleaning of the plug end in
order to ensure correct operation. Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any
baked-on food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.
Note: to avoid damaging the electric ignition device, do not use it when the burners are not in their housing.
